size-comparison

To install the latest appcompare tool do:

$ dotnet tool install --global appcompare

You can update it to the latest version by running:

$ dotnet tool update --global appcompare

The current directory might point to a different and incompatible dotnet SDK, resulting in an error. However running the command from a different location (outside the repo) should work.

Easier Analysis

If you want to read/compare the IL inside the assemblies you need to disable IL stripping.

• Legacy (oldnet)

Add this option inside the Release|iPhone configuration of size-comparison/MySingleView/oldnet/MySingleView.csproj

<MtouchExtraArgs>--nostrip</MtouchExtraArgs>

• net6

Build with /p:EnableAssemblyILStripping=false set. The MtouchExtraArgs legacy option is also honored.
